Florida skydiver who had miraculous escape after collision with Cessna claims he’ll jump again

MULBERRY, Fla. — Here’s a crash course in how not to take off, and for that matter, how not to land.

These incredible photos show the moment forty-nine-year-old skydiver John Frost crashed into a Cessna piloted by 87-year-old Shannon L. Trembely.

Miraculously, both men escaped the face to face collision relatively unscathed. In fact, Frost says he’ll jump again as soon as he feels safe.

Frost told ABC’s “Good Morning America” Monday that he’s sore and has some bruises, but no broken bones.

On Saturday, his parachute got entangled with Trembely’s aircraft.

Officials say Trembely was doing takeoff and landing manoeuvrs in his Cessna near the South Lakeland Airport when he encountered Frost on his third landing pass. They were about 75 feet (23 metres) above the ground.

Trembley’s Cessna nose-dived into the ground. Frost was also tossed to the ground. Both men were taken to the hospital but escaped serious injury.
